NASA presidential candidate Raila Odinga. [Photo/kutv.com.]A political analyst has warned opposition presidential candidate Raila Odinga to tread carefully on his 'adopt a polling station' strategy saying the move could trigger violence.Speaking to Citizen TV on Thursday, Bonke Komwayi said Mr Odinga could soon find himself answering to charges of instigating violence before the International Criminal Court (ICC) if he continues to root for the strategy which he predicts will instantly result in confrontations."Somebody needs to advise Raila properly.This adopt a polling station song will land him in ICC. His agents will no doubt allege mischief and a confrontation will ensue triggering violence and ICC will come calling", he said.Odinga maintains that his Nasa coalition will have five agents to watch over his votes in every polling station despite the Iebc and Interior CS Fred Matiangi saying the move is illegal and will not be allowed.The Hague based court is a familiar face in the country having indicted president Uhuru Kenyatta, his deputy William Ruto and four other individuals for a brief stint before their cases collapsed.The duo alongside former Tinderet MP Henry Kosgey, former head of civil service Francis Muthaura, former Inspector General of police Hussein Ali and radio journalist Joshua arap Sang were accused of orchestrating the 2007/2008/ post elcection violence which resulted in the death of some 1333 Kenyans and displaced 500,00 others in the country.
